Project 2, Part Four

Hi Class:

The final part of Project Two is due at the beginning of next class.

Create a formal proposal that details your final concept. Your proposal should include visual representation of your concept, as well as a written description of why your toy or game is fun and how it employs the course concepts presented to date. You should incorporate improvements derived from user testing. Your proposal must be posted to the blog by March 3 at 6:29PM.

As with the presentation in Project One, the format for this post is deliberately open, and I encourage creative responses. You could (and are encouraged) to incorporate photos or video. You are not necessarily required to change your prototype in any way, but may choose to do so if it would improve your proposal. Think of this portion of the Project as a pitch to a manufacturer: why should I buy this toy design? A discussion of your design process, and the results of your user testing (both in-class and elsewhere) should play a role in your proposal.

Note that this post is the final product for Project Two. I will not be collecting the toys, nor will I be accepting hard copies of your proposal. The proposal should stand alone, and not require any prior knowledge of the toy/game in question. If you are having trouble getting your proposal onto the blog, please let me know as soon as possible.
